More than 60 percent of parents feel the ongoing shift toward online-based learning during the coronavirus pandemic has deepened inequality in education between haves and have-nots, a survey showed.
The parents also said that online learning prompted by school closures exposed the technology divide.
According to the survey, 62 percent of respondents said they agreed with the claim that full access to online learning is far from universal and that students who are poor are less likely to have access to the key tools and experiences they need to attend school online.
When asked whether students can understand the content of their studies well through only online classes, 65.4 percent said they "do not understand well."
In order to bridge the education gap caused by the COVID-19 crisis, 63.9 percent of respondents said that a law related to education should be enacted.
"We need to establish a special law to understand the structure in which parents' backgrounds are passed down," an official of the civic group said in a statement.
"Blind recruiting methods should be applied to all companies and entrance examinations while enacting a child human rights law that restricts early private education for infants and toddlers."
